Good day attorney,I was just wondering what would be a viable option for me of whether i could make a motion for reconsideration with the resolution of the fiscal, or to proceed for hearing?. I read from an article that slight physical injuries involves direct filing and that no Preliminary Investigation is needed and that no counter affidavit is needed..what should I do? will there still be an amicable settlement after arraignment?.....Please explain the procedure to me as I am at a lost. Also there was a countercharge with the same case so I guess both cases will just be consolidated tama ba?

it depends whether your counter charge will be filed. it may be dismissed.

i recommend you file a motion for reconsideration with the fiscal first, and fast. then you can file an appeal with the doj or regional prosecutor.

you can also consider allowing the case to continue. you will have mediation after arraignment where you can settle.
